   What is an extreme organism?

   • But, first, let us revisit what we mean by an extreme organism. In Chapter 1, I proposed a definition of extreme organisms by reference to the life boxes of organisms: the range of physical conditions under which they exist (the non-biological features of their ecological niche).

   How do extreme environments affect organisms?

   • Extreme environments affect the responses of organisms at many levels, from the structure of their proteins and membranes, to the ways in which they carry out their lives, their interactions with their environment and other organisms, and their life history, behaviour and evolution.

   What are 'extremophiles'?

   • These ‘extremophiles’ include organisms that can survive near-boiling heat or near-freezing cold, high pressure or high salt, as well as environments steeped in acids, alkalis, metals or radioactivity. Coercing these organisms to live in laboratories creates many challenges.

   What are the most 'extreme' environments on Earth?

   • Some of the most “extreme” environments on Earth include hot springs, the deep sea, desert ponds, and waters with little to no oxygen. This symposium united microbiologists, physiologists, and evolutionary biologists to present cutting edge research representing the breadth of extremophile biology.

   What is the extreme Microbiome Project (XMP)?

   • In 2014, Scott Tighe, a microbiologist at the University of Vermont in Burlington, gathered international collaborators for an ongoing initiative known as the Extreme Microbiome Project (XMP). The researchers hope to find genes that might indicate how extremophiles survive and whether they might make compounds that could work as antibiotics.

   What are extreme habitats?

   • Extreme habitats are largely defined not only by extreme highs and lows in abiotic/physical characteristics including temperature, pressure, pH, oxygen saturation, salinity, but can also be influenced by biological characteristics such as low nutrition, high population density, or low prey availability ( Rothschild and Mancinelli 2001 ).
